Stegra Boden steel plant, also known as H2 Green Steel Boden steel plant, is a steel plant in Boden, Norrbotten, Sweden that operates direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the approximate location of the plant in Boden, Norrbotten, Sweden:
- Location: Boden Industrial Park, Boden, Norrbotten, Sweden
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 65.805389, 21.75914 (approximate)
Background
As of January 2024, H2 Green Steel had secured around €6.5 billion in total financing, including €3.5 billion in senior debt and up to €600 million in junior debt, alongside close to €300 million in equity. This funding, supported by a diverse consortium of lenders and investors, represents a major step forward in advancing sustainable steel production practices.[1][2]
The European Commission approved a €265 million direct grant for H2 Green Steel as a Swedish measure funded through the Recovery and Resilience Facility. [3]
Low-emissions/green steelmaking
This steel plant is associated with a green steel project tracked in the Green Steel Tracker. Details about the project are included below.
